We're taste-testing as many Fall TV pilots as we can get to and giving you our first impressions!
There are few things Snark Ladies love more than starting new things and pilot episodes, so we're bringing back our Fall TV Roundup. Join us as we taste-test and grade as many Fall pilots as we can.
As you likely heard or saw if you're here, reading this blog, the Emmys were this week. When we noticed that Shogun led the pack in nominations and was still in its first season, that seemed like an obvious pick for our Emmy-week episode.
A Netflix show adaptation of a popular YA book? You should not be surprised to find Snark Squad at the scene of the crime.
We invited good friend of the pod, Paige Gunning, to join us this episode. In addition to having great insight into books and publishing, Paige is one of our friends most likely to enjoy a soapy teen drama and is currently living in London. Very fitting, if we do say so ourselves.
Our next couple of episodes were actually recorded out of order. We had an episode about A Good Girl's Guide To Murder ready to go, but when I recently visited Nicole, and we spent all of our TV couch time catching up on Love Island USA Season 6. Neither of us had ever watched any of the previous seasons or iterations, but we had been hearing a lot about the season on social media. Plus, we both got sick during my visit, so we were looking for the ultimate 0 brain cell TV, and Love Island felt just right.
Nothing is more Snark Squad's roots than a YA novel-adapted-into-a-show, so of course we had to cover this. We recorded another one recently too -- leave your guesses in the comments.
I have no idea if anyone is still here, reading these posts, but they are an important part of the tradition of this podcast, so I will continue to post them whenever a wild podcast episode appears. And what's that? A wild podcast episode has appeared!
We open in the woods, 10 miles west of Boston. Gentle guitar notes play while Joel plunges his mangled hand (the one he injured beating the crap out of the guy at the end of the first episode) into a beautiful stream. I could gush over the way they film nature in this show all day.
Geralt examines Ciri's room and has feelings about not having be let to protect her.
Outside of the ruins of Cintra, Geralt arrives at the camp where Ciri spent some time with Cintran refugees. There is a man there, hauling around the bodies. Geralt thinks he's a grave robber, but the man is actually just trying to give them proper burials.
We begin this episode in Jakarta, Indonesia on September 24th, 2003. People are eating in a restaurant when some uniformed officials walk in, and everyone suddenly goes quiet. The officials go up to a woman eating by herself and before anything is said, we cut to her in the back of a car, being driven away by them.
A man catches Ciri trying to steal and asks where she's headed. She answers Skellige and wonders how long it will take her to get to the coast. The man says it's a week with a fast horse. Ciri asks how long by foot and the man just laughs and leaves. A nearby woman tells her this town isn't safe if she's alone. Ciri says then it's like every other place, then.
